PITTSBURGH -- The Walt Disney Co. has donated money for two three-year fellowships at a Pittsburgh university in honor of the late professor Randy Pausch.
The Disney Memorial Pausch Fellowships will go to a fine arts student and one in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. That's where Pausch taught.
He became famous for his inspirational book "The Last Lecture" before dying in July of pancreatic cancer.
The book grew out of a lecture about dealing with his illness and became famous through an Internet video.
Disney has also honored Pausch by placing a medallion at its Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida.
The medallion is inscribed with an excerpt from his book.
The value of the fellowships wasn't disclosed.
I just wonder where they put it.
